Sophie will be the seventh Bishop of Doncaster in the Church of England.<\/p>\n<p>The Bishop of Sheffield, the Rt Revd Dr Pete Wilcox, said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am truly delighted that Canon Sophie has accepted the invitation to be the next Bishop of Doncaster.  She is a devoted disciple of Jesus and a highly gifted priest, with an almost uncanny \u2018fit\u2019 to the role description we drew up.  She has a wealth of experience, as an incumbent, a residentiary cathedral canon and a member of a bishop\u2019s senior staff team.  Her energy, creativity and passion will enrich our Diocese, and I am looking forward hugely to forging a collaboration with her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sheffield.anglican.org\/news\/the-revd-canon-sophie-jelley-announced-as-the-next-bishop-of-doncaster\">Read it all<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Downing Street has announced the next Bishop of Doncaster in <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DioceseofSheff?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DioceseofSheff<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Find out more: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ha9vVi6quy\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ha9vVi6quy<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/92pNGHjFD0\">pic.twitter.com\/92pNGHjFD0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 The Church of England (@churchofengland) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/churchofengland\/status\/1201447506288218113?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 2, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The next Bishop of Doncaster will be the Revd Canon Sophie Jelley Downing Street has announced today.
